Collision Repair in Manchester, CT

Class A vs. Elective Repairs

CLASS A

If your repair work involves filing an insurance claim, we'll help you handle all of the details. We work with every major insurance company, coordinating the complete repair. We even provide you with a detailed repair plan specific to your vehicle.

ELECTIVE REPAIRS

In those instances when you are paying for the repairs yourself, we are conscious that cost is a big factor. Our experts review your initial repair plan and recommend options that will save you money in the long run, all the while ensuring no sacrifice is made with regards to structure or safety of the repair.

Removing/Replacing Parts

We realize that cost is a big factor when you make vehicle repair decisions. To make sure you get the services you need, Maaco located at 550 N. Main St., offers three price levels for replacement parts. The least expensive option is Recycled parts. These components come from vehicles that are no longer driveable but are still safe and functioning.

The next level is Aftermarket parts. These parts are brand new, but may not necessarily come from your vehicle's manufacturer. The best and most costly option id OEM. These parts are more expensive but come from the original manufacturer of your vehicle and provide the best match. If you do need a replacement part, consider these three options.

Spot Painting

If your car is in great shape but only has a few imperfections, a touch up may be all you need to restore your car to its former glory. Spot painting can often be the best and most cost efficient option in these cases.

Before targeting the trouble areas, we'll clean and block sand surrounding areas to make sure the entire surface is ready to be painted. We utilize a multiple masking process to make sure the new and old paint is properly blended. This will result in a seamless transition and a great end product!

Finishing

Dust. Lint. Dirt. At Maaco of Manchester, our commitment to perfection in your repair job means we never let such imperfections stand in the way. As part of the spot painting process to your repair job comes our standard finishing work. It is our quality procedure that helps sand, buff and polish away those little imperfections.

It starts with wet sanding, spread evenly over the area and then smoothed out. Next we carefully buff the area using a liquid compound. Then it's onto the polishing, a critical step in restoring that shine to your paint and clear coat and getting that damaged area looking good as new.
